Projects

Thank you for all your kind comments about the book and sweet emails. I’m a lucky girl to have such wonderful friends (even if you’re online!) and I’m so thankful for you!

These are a couple more projects and out-takes from the book that I thought I’d share…and everybody likes pretty photos right? Don’t answer that.

This quilt is my favorite of the book. I love the fabrics in this quilt…it has a scrappy look without being scrappy. I backed it with a green flannel and Christina quilted it…it’s so soft and heavy.

I have a thing for boy quilts and boy fabrics…but I do love a little (or a lot) of pink.

And…back to the boy fabrics.

This is how we spend our afternoons almost every day…the boys looking for crabs under the rocks while I watch/eat/read/eat more.

My Grandma gave us Quillows when I was 12 or so and I hadn’t seen one since. This one is a great size for kids…to leave in the car, travel with, or pack to the park. Chilly feet can even fit inside the pocket!

I am crazy about all three of these quilts(lows). I love seeing creative takes on strip quilts, and Breezy is perfect for that! Those Children at Play rockets are such a fun choice for a long strip, too.

I LOVE the Quillow! My grandma also made one for me – probably when I was around the same age. It is very precious to me because it's the last thing she made for me (as well as the other 15 or so grandkids – yeah, she was amazing) before she passed away from cancer. Of course my kids will have to have one of these when they get older. I'm glad you've included a pattern for it in your book!

I just popped your book into my Amazon shopping cart! It looks so fun!! Where do you live that you can go to the beach every afternoon?!!! And is there a specific fabric line that that stack of fabric comes from or is it just a lovely set that you've hand picked out? It looks so fun and happy!! Have a great day!! Hugs, H in Healdsburg

I'm SOOO anxious for my book to arrive (*sound of fingertips drumming on the table…*). I'm also very envious of how you spend your afternoons. I miss the Seattle area SO much. That climate was perfect for me. Fresno? Not so much…And that stack of fabric is just delicious. See you next week!

Thanks for more pictures of these adorable quilts! I couldn't wait to get my hands on your book so I ordered the ebook version for Kobo (that's a Canadian Kindle)! So glad I did! I wasn't sure I would like the electronic version – I do so love to flip through quilt books – but it's great and I highly recommend it! This is one of the first quilt books I have bought (and I've bought quite a few) where I have wanted to make every quilt in the book! Now…which one to start with!

Can't wait until I can buy this book! I had it pre-ordered and then decided I need to wait until I got paid again since I bought some fabric. The little bits I have seen so far look great–looks like a quilt book I will use a lot.

Hi Allison, yes thank you for the extra photographs, it makes my wait for my copy from Amazon more bearable! Purchasing an advance order has turned out to be a great treat for me as i think it will arrive in time for mothers day, and i have fabric stashed just waiting for these quilt patterns. You are so talented and we are so lucky that you share your patterns with us!!Good Luck with the book sales, though i think they will find homes so very quickly!Kind regards,RobynFrom Sydney , Australia

Hi Allison – I totally love what I've seen of your book and plan to buy a copy on Amazon. I'm just wondering though how you came up with the name of the book? It's very unusual so thought maybe there was a story behind it??

What beautiful projects, I just preordered the book. With all the projects I have lined up, maybe I'll get around to making the quillow by the time my youngest starts junior kindergarden in two years from now!

I just received my book in the mail yesterday and have spent all of last nite and this morning looking through it over and over. It's a wonderful book! I love so many of the projects but really want to try the Breezy quilt first I think. Then maybe the houses.
